Hotel Artemis
(2018)
|
Richard Roeper
|
Positive points for trying to achieve something original, and for the quality of the cast. But after that bloody boldness, the analogies and the life lessons and the moments of closure are all too predictable and familiar.

Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman
(2015)
|
Richard Roeper
|
For longtime fans of Paul Newman, "Winning" provides valuable insight into the sport he loved. For millennials that might be only vaguely familiar with this old-time movie star, it's a lesson in how one should live a life.
